Escorted Rail Tours to Ellora Caves

Discover Buddhist, Hindu and Jain temples

Located 19 miles (30 kilometres) from Aurangabad in Maharashtra,
the Ellora Caves are a UNESCO World Heritage Site dating back to
600AD that bring the civilisation of ancient India to life. Here,
ancient Buddhist, Hindu and Jain culture can be experienced through
the vast monasteries, temples and shrines carved into the rock
face. These illustrate the spirit of tolerance, which allowed the
three religions to establish their sanctuaries and communities. The
34 monasteries and temples extend over more than a mile, including
12 Buddhist Caves, 17 Hindu Caves and five Jain Caves.

70 years ago, on the 15th of August 1947 India became the country that we know and love today. Following the departure of the British after nearly 200 years of what is known as the ‘British Raj’ (or ‘British Rule’), India suffered a period of turmoil, with Pakistan off from India, but it has since risen to become one of the main superpowers of the modern world.
